Dear Anand, This is a valid point. These sort of features are existing for elearing mgmt tools. If the content is SCORM or AICC complaint irrespective of the vendor you can add your content to the tool which takes care of the integration. I am yet to come across such an ebook mgmt tool.

This has created a barrier to Library & Information Centers to have an integrated and searchable e-book collection/database. Have you come across any third party/neutral tools/software to integrate e-books from different publishers, without compromising on IPR issues?
